it could easily have been interpreted as "is this cd a with mp3 files on it" -- you know, mp3-cds, those things that were a big deal in car audio in 2004. this makes sense given their answer which is basically, "no, it's an audio cd" - which is true

not saying i think pressing a cd with lossy audio and selling it is particularly cool but i think there is plenty of potential for them to have answered that tweet honestly and in good faith

while i think beepola is good software and i get that its freeware etc, it really isnt acceptable for a tracker to demand that you uninstall a vital part of your OS to get it to work

can you use those ports/devices with other software in linux?
